This is me, at home after the war.
This is me when i got home, after the war
When I Mario was fighting in the war for Italy's side we thought that since we were on the winning side Italy was going to win the land that we were promiced during the Treaty Of London.
Our government waited to join the war because we wanted to see what would happend with the other sides, we have been on the side of Germany and Austria-Hungary (the central powers) in the years leading up to the war, but we decited to enter the war on the side of the triple Entene, on April 26,1915.



WHY WE ENTERD...
We enterd the war under the assumption that if we fought with the allies we would gain a large section of the territory in the Adriatic Sea Reagion, but that didnt happen. We (Italy) were very mad about the whole thing. We didnt know what to do.


TREATY OF LONDON.
Brittain and France need us, (Italy) to join their side because they had help from the South of the Western Front.



CAPORETTD
In the Caporettd, wich was a seres of battles, fought the whole Austrian army and seven divisions of German troops. we lost 300,000 men during that time, the retreit made everyone from Italy feel humiliated, it brought alot of shame because of how mutch men we lost. it was a horrible battle.


CHRISTMAS DAY :)
On Christmas we all decited to quit the war only on that day so that we could have peace on cristmas and talk to our familys. We exchanged gifts with other people.
something that was kind of strange to me was that people on the enemys side would talk to us an not hurt us. we were kind of afraid to talk to them because we didnt know what would happenn if we did that.
I was happy that everyone could get along with eachother. I really felt the christmas spirit. Although it was a little wierd that every one was so nice to eachother I couldnt get over the fact that these peple hat were talking to me were the people that killed some of my closest friend and some of my family members. I also didnt like the fact that we had to start the war back up tomorrow.
I had made friends with some of the people on the other side, and i really wish i hadent because i would have to be fihting them in the war tomorrow, i didnt like that at all be cause i could be killing one of my friends.


THE TRENCES
Being in the trenches was horrible because it was mudddy and a small space. We slept in them and it was so close together we practicaly slept right next to echother. Some people were clostrophoic (like me) so we couldnt stay in one place for long. I hated the fact that we had to stay in the same clothes all the time but it realy didnt matter because we all got so muddy when it rained and it rained alot. It was kind of depressing because alot of my close friends and relatives were getting killed right in front of me, I didnt like that at all, but I did have to think about how I had probably killed one of their close frends or relatives. I hated thinking that I was someone who had killed a person. It made me feel bad that I was the cause of someones deth.
